A. Atomic Number (Z) = #protons in an atom’s nucleus C. Mass Number (A) = # of protons + # of neutrons X AZAZ Atomic number Mass number Element 1. Isotopes - atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons (same Z different A) B. Element - a substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons D. Atomic Symbols Atomic Number (Z)
